Briess red wheat malt is a wonderful American wheat malt that works perfectly as a base in wheat beers of all kinds, from Hefeweizens to American-style wheat beers. It has a sweet maltiness with a hint of fruitiness that lends itself well to wheat beers, or as part of grists of other beer styles. As wheat malt has more proteins which can help produce full-bodied beers with good head retention, and are sometimes added as part of the grist to English and American ales. This particular red wheat malt has a slight tartness which is refreshing and delicious!
